Fenton Silver Crest...1940 Art Glass

As most of you know I love Collecting Dishes. Especially those from the 1930's through the 1960's.

Silver Crest is one of Fenton's patterns that started in the 1940's. This pattern is also made as Emerald Crest and Aqua Crest.

Fenton Art Glass Company has been turning glass into fine art since 1905, and continues today to be among the foremost glass manufacturers in the world. Known for its beautiful colors and patterns, Fenton continues an American tradition with it's skilled glassworkers and talented decorators.

Frank L. Fenton kept the company in the forefront of Artisan Glass industry, but during the Depression Era and the early years of World War II, Fenton also produced practical items such as mixing bowls and perfume bottles.

Hi Sue,I actually used to live near the Fenton Glass Mfg. company in Ohio. I lived in WV and it was only about two hours away. I have been there many times and it's fascinating to see how they make this lovely stuff.

I collect Fenton Silver Crest, and my 3 tiered tid-bit is my favorite piece too! A long time ago I decided all of my plates and serving pieces should be white or clear so they'd go with every tablecloth... saw FSC and fell in love! Happy St. Patty's Day Sue:@)
